Ventilation Requirements For use in G.B. purpose built ventilation is not normally required for this appliance. In Republic of Ireland :- For use in I.E. this appliance must be installed in accordance with the rules in force by a competent person and used only in a sufficiently ventilated space. Please consult document I.S. 813 : 1996 Domestic Gas Installation, issued by the National Standards Authority of Ireland. 1.2 FLUE AND CHIMNEY SUITABILITY The appliance is designed for use with conventional brick built chimneys or lined chimneys and pre – fabricated flues. It is also suitable for use with pre-cast flue blocks conforming to BS EN 1858 and metal flue boxes conforming to BS 715. All flues must conform to the following minimum dimensions. Minimum diameter of circular flues Minimum effective height of all flue types Minimum cross sectional area of Pre-cast Flues 4 125 mm 3 metres 122.7 cm2 1.3 FIREPLACE / SURROUND SUITABILITY The fire is suitable for hearth mounting only. It must not be fitted directly onto a carpet or other combustible material. It must not be fitted to combustible walls. This fire is suitable for the following hearth / surround types: Non-combustible hearths / surrounds. Purpose made proprietary hearths / surrounds with a minimum temperature rating of 150oC. If a heating appliance is fitted directly against a wall without the use of a fireplace or fire surround, soft wall coverings such as wallpaper, blown vinyl, etc. could be affected by the heat and may, therefore scorch or become discoloured. Please bear this in mind when installing or decorating. 1.4 SHELF POSITION 1.5 SIDE CLEARANCE 1.6 CLOSURE PLATE 1.7 FLUE / CHIMNEY INSPECTION a) Check that the chimney / flue only serves one fireplace and is clear of any obstruction. Any obstruction. Any dampers or register plates must be removed or locked in the open position. The fire may be fitted below a combustible shelf providing there is a minimum distance of 200 mm above the top of the fire and the shelf does not project more than 150 mm. If the shelf overhangs more than 150 mm the distance between the fire and the shelf must be increased by 25 mm for every 25 mm of additional overhang over 150 mm. A minimum clearance of 100mm should be allowed on either side of the fire for servicing. Any fire surround uprights should not project forward by more than 100mm. NOTE. The fire must be installed so that no part of a combustible side wall when measured laterally is less than 500mm from the radiants. A closure plate is supplied with this fire and must be fitted. The closure plate must be sealed to the fireplace or surround opening with suitable adhesive tape. See section 2.2.2 Before commencing installation, a flue or chimney should be inspected to ensure that all the following conditions are satisfied. 5 b) Brick / stone built chimneys and any chimney or flue which has been used for an appliance burning fuel other than gas must be thoroughly swept. The base of the chimney / flue must also be thoroughly cleared of debris etc. Any under floor air supply to the fireplace must be completely sealed off. Ensure that the inside of the chimney/flue is in good condition along its length and check that there is no leakage of smoke through the structure of the chimney during and after the smoke pellet test. With pre-cast flues it is especially important to check the inside of the flue for extruded cement / sealant protruding from the joints between the flue blocks. If present, these should be removed by rodding the flue before proceeding with the installation. Using a smoke pellet, check that there is a positive up draught present in the chimney / flue and that the smoke can be seen issuing from the terminal / chimney pot outside. There must be no leakage of smoke through the structure of the chimney during or after the smoke pellet test and it is important to check inside upstairs rooms adjacent to the chimney / flue. Check the chimney pot / terminal and general condition of the chimney brickwork or masonry. If the chimney or flue is in poor condition or if there is no up draught do not proceed with the installation. If there is a history of down draught conditions with the chimney / flue, a tested and certified flue terminal or cowl suitable for the relevant flue type should be considered. A spillage test must always be carried out during commissioning of the appliance. 1.8 1.8.1 CHIMNEY CATCHMENT SPACE. Brick Built Chimneys. The catchment space below the flue spigot should be as deep as possible, and must not be less than 250mm measured from the bottom of the flue spigot to the bottom of the catchment space, or to the top of any “bricking-up” of the fireplace, whichever is the least. See Fig. 1. The flue spigot must pass through the closure plate at least 25mm and have a minimum clearance of 50mm between its open end and the nearest obstruction. There must be a minimum clearance of 165mm between the back of the closure plate and the back of the catchment space. See Fig. 1 overpage. 6 The front opening of the fireplace must be between 305mm and 440mm wide, and between 500mm and 650mm high. If the opening is larger than this, then a surround must be constructed in a suitable non-com bustible material to create an opening to these limits. Allow a minimum flat surface of 20mm around the opening to ensure that the closure plate can be sealed to the fireplace. Any surround must be sealed to the fireplace to prevent leakage. The operation of the chimney should be tested a detailed as in section 1.7. Fig.1. 1.8.2 Note. A flue spigot extension of up to a maximum total length of 125mm may be fitted if necessary, providing that a minimum clearance 50mm between its open end and nearest obstruction is always maintained. Chimney Catchment Space. Fitting to Pre-Fabricated twin wall metal Flue Boxes. The appliance may be fitted to a twin wall metal flue box conforming to the constructional requirements of BS 715, (for example the Selkirk LFE 125 box). The box must have a minimum flue diameter of 125mm internal and minimum internal dimensions of 160mm deep by 580mm high by 350mm wide. There are no maximum dimensional requirements for the box. The top face of the box must be insulated with a minimum thickness of 50mm of non-combustible mineral wool insulation or similar material. The flue box must stand on a non-combustible base of minimum thickness 12mm. 7 1.8.3 Fitting to Pre-Cast Flue Installations. 1.9 HEARTH FITTING 1.10 The pre-cast opening must be a minimum of 122.7cm2 or equivalent cross-sectional area and have a minimum effective flue height of 3 metres. This appliance has been tested for use in a precast flue block complying with BS EN 1858. In accordance with BS EN 1858, pre-cast flues built with directly plastered faces (front or rear) are not correctly installed as to ensure proper operation with any type of gas fire. In some instances of this flue construction, temperature cracking of surface plaster may occur through no fault of the appliance. An air gap or some form of insulation material should be installed to prevent normal flue temperatures from damaging wall surfaces. This appliance must only be installed on to a level concrete or noncombustible hearth. The feet must not be removed when installing directly onto a hearth.The hearth material must be a minimum thickness of 13 mm with the top surface at least 50 mm above the floor level. The hearth must be fitted symmetrically about the fire opening and have a minimum width of 760 mm and a minimum projection of 300 mm forwards from the fire opening. SPILLAGE MONITORING SYSTEM This appliance is fitted with an atmosphere sensing spillage monitoring system in the form of an oxygen sensing pilot. This is designed to shut the fire off in the event of partial or complete blockage of the flue causing a build up of combustion products in the room in which the fire is operating. The following are important warnings relating to the spillage monitoring system: The spillage monitoring system must not be adjusted by the Installer. The spillage monitoring system must not be put out of action. When the spillage monitoring system is exchanged, only a complete original Manufacturers part may be fitted. It is not possible to replace individual parts on the pilot system on the appliance, only a complete pilot assembly (including thermocouple) may be fitted. 8 2.1 PACKING CHECK LIST 2.2 INSTALLATION OF FIRE 2.2.1 a) Fig. 2 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 off Firebox / Burner Assembly off Flue Spigot off Closure Plate off Literature / Loose Items Pack off Fuelbed off Coal Pack off AA battery Preparation.
